Abstract
Teaching Arabic syntactic structures often faces challenges such as low learner motivation and reliance on traditional methods. Previous studies have analyzed these challenges, yet they mostly focused on analyzing specific channel content or general language teaching strategies. This research aims to highlight the potential of using TikTok as an innovative educational tool for teaching Arabic structures and their strategies, by analyzing content samples and presenting a future vision. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical library research method, reviewing theoretical foundations, utilization strategies (teacher as content creator, activity designer, or content facilitator), and analyzing successful educational channels such as @Brayfaqot, @Marhabanacademy, @Maqraacademy, @Arabicwithdaben, @Kursuskuba, @ibnusoyad, and @Kampungarabalazhar. The findings reveal that TikTok possesses unique educational characteristics making it suitable for teaching Arabic syntactic structures. The range of teachable Arabic structures is broad, and three progressive teacher roles have been identified. TikTok positively contributes to developing speaking skills, improving pronunciation, and expanding vocabulary, with positive student attitudes toward its use. The study also identifies five main challenges: distraction, unverified content quality, short video duration, lack of structured assessment systems, and privacy concerns, for which systematic practical solutions have been developed.
